West Georgia Health Adopts Inworks Automated AP System that Reduces Expenses and Improves Cash on Hand

The fully automated AP program boosts efficiency at no capital cost to the hospital

Portland, Ore, June 19, 2013

Inworks® Servicing, LLC, a Portland-based financial services company specializing in revenue-generating AP strategies for hospitals and healthcare systems, today announced that its Strategic AP® program has helped West Georgia Health in LaGrange, GA increase supplier participation in their electronic payments system and increase days cash on hand.

WGH chose the Inworks Strategic AP program to fully automate and streamline its invoice processing and payment functions because the company's Intelligent Pay electronic payment platform and payment automation system offered the most comprehensive solution with no upfront costs. And, because Inworks was able to draw on its extensive supplier network and offer the broadest choice of attractive payment methods, it ensured the hospital maximum supplier participation. As a result, the hospital was able to improve its cash position by more than $3.5M within the first 90 days of implementation.

"Thanks to everyone at Inworks for helping WGH become paperless! I honestly never thought an automated AP system would be a possibility for us. You have made this happen!" — Julie Cook, WGHS Accounts Payable Coordinator.

The Inworks Strategic AP program helps healthcare systems maximize working capital through its AP automation and Intelligent Pay Cloud-based, electronic payment system, which streamlines the AP process and reduces administrative costs. The Inworks Connect private network of secure payments benefits healthcare systems and their suppliers by providing a broad selection of secure payment options, in addition to other unique services.
